Christmas Party Themes to Sleigh the Holidays
Christmas is right around the corner. And by right around the corner, I mean less than 60 days! You know what that means—it’s time for the Christmas party season! Now, we’ve all been to a typical holiday bash—red and green decorations, candy cane gift bags, and that oddly stale caramelized popcorn. BORING! Okay, maybe not totally boring—it does bring some serious nostalgia.
BUT, if you’re looking to spice up your Christmas parties this year (whether it’s for your rowdy friends, your family, or even a corporate bash), we’ve got the themes for you. Tampa, it's time to show Santa who’s the real Queen of Christmas.
Let’s dive in!
HO, HO, HO
Yep, this one’s a little cheeky (and maybe even a bit inappropriate, but hey, it’s funny). This theme is perfect for a night in with your closest girlfriends. Think cozy red and pink PJs, some wine, and a whole lot of laughs. If you’re feeling a bit extra and want to take it to the next level, invite the guys over for a little “drunk Twister” action.
Party Game Idea: Divide into teams of three, and race to wrap your friend like a chic Christmas gift in under 3 minutes. (Heads up, you’ll need to raid a Michaels craft store for supplies.) The best (or, let's be real, the worst) outfit wins, and the loser has to post the masterpiece on their Instagram story for everyone to see.
Christmas Karaoke Night
What’s more festive than a house decked out in Christmas lights, a disco ball twinkling in the corner, and your questionable rendition of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” blaring from a karaoke machine? The catch? To get a drink, you must sing a Christmas classic. Nothing like some sober karaoke embarrassment to really warm the holiday spirit—unless you’re secretly Ariana Grande, of course.
Wes Anderson Christmas
Have you ever seen a Wes Anderson set you didn’t love? Exactly. For the quirky, artsy crowd, this theme is a dream. Picture bold pastels, perfectly placed pops of pink and green, and tablescapes so symmetrical that Wes himself would shed a tear. Go for retro-inspired, balanced décor, and a holiday vibe that’s more “stylized aesthetic” than “Santa’s workshop.”
Hallmark Christmas
Channel your inner Hallmark movie character by turning your home into the coziest, cheesiest winter wonderland. Think plaid everywhere, a roaring fire, and sugar cookies galore. Deck the halls in classic ‘90s Christmas style, and for the trueHallmark experience, maybe invite the UPS driver inside for some cookies? You never know—love could be waiting right at your front door.
Upper East Side Christmas
NYC may be chilly, but it never stops being bougie. For the fancy folks who want to get really dressed up this holiday season, this theme is all about luxury. Picture the faint sound of subway trains in the background as you strut around in your finest Chanel dress, pearl earrings, and Manolo Blahniks. The food? Obviously, a lavish banquet. And your dining table? Well, it needs to have a plate for every single course, candles everywhere, and a vibe that screams “I’m too rich for this.”
Leather & Citrus Christmas
Want a Christmas that channels Don Draper vibes with a side of Florida flair? Look no further than a Leather & Citrus theme! Imagine warm, rustic tones, rich leather accents, and a dash of elegance, all paired with the vibrant zing of citrus. It’s a perfect homage to Florida’s heritage, blending cozy charm with a polished twist.
PSA: If this theme caught your eye, we’ve already got it all set up for you at The Colonial at Sunset in San Antonio! Perfect for up to 32 guests, it’s available for rent—and it’s as chic as it sounds. You’re welcome.
So, whether you’re getting festive with some ho-ho-ho hilarity, keeping it classy on the Upper East Side, or channeling Wes Anderson in all his pastel glory, we’ve got you covered. It’s time to break free from the same old Christmas party mold and make this year’s holiday bash legendary.
